Fortunes Being SIado by speculators-The

CINCINNATI, O., July 29.-The boom
which has struck the Leaf tobacco market
is causing no little excitement among the
trade. The crop now on the market is
estimated at about 25 per cent OF the crop
handled last year, and the growing crop
at about % per cent short OF that now be.

and spring WAS lower than Tor years. and
enippers or holders-those who buy from
the fsrmers-made purchases that aver
aged from IS 90 TO So 90 per 100 pouude.
and they are now selling at an average of
$40 to Sl5, bringing them three times thp
amount invested. Spectators who bourht
on the market six or eight weeks APO can
now sell out at double the cost, The TON

This style OF goods has not reached near
the price it will bring later on in the iall.
There are several firms who made lnrce

But u Technical Decision Deprlyes Him of
n Pension.

But Technical Decision Depriyes Him OF
WARRINGTON, D. O., July 20.-Ths Sec.
Rotary Of the Interior to-day denied the
claim Of William Hedgspeth, ex.private
in the Forty.second Indiana Volunteers.
The case Is an.uncommon one and has
been the subject Of much discussion before
pension officials. Hedgapeth was cap.
tured in 1868, and confined as prisoner
at Andersonville. After remaining in
captivity five months he enlisted In tho
Confederate army, no says, to escape
starvation, and 30 informed his fol.
low prisoners; and that at first
opportunity he would desert, and II posi-.
BILE find his way back to bis old command.
After a ehort service in the Confederate
army he carried out his intention and fin.
ally reached his regiment in which he ser.
we'd until discharged. Some years ago
Hegepeth applied for a pension on the
ground OF disability contracted while in the
Federal service. This fact was lully sus.
tanned. The law provides that no one
who aided directly or indirectly the
enemies OF tho Government in
the late war ehall be permitted to
draw pension. Hedgepeth's brief con.
nection with the Coniederacy made him
amenable to this law. His motive, it is
eaid, cannot be taken into consideration.
Opinions by the dozen, some favorable
and others unfsvorsble, have been rem
dered upon the case by the different Off.
cials Of the Interior department. At last,
after the lapse Of years, it reached the
Secretary of the Interior for fiual action.
The papers in the case, which are very
voluminous, include a strong protest
against the payment Of the pension by
Commissioner Black.

New York, July Ca car cleane,
named Albert Jones, on Friday night
found behind the heater in postal car No,
$50, Blk official envelopes. They had been
opened, but there were in them number
Of checks in transit for New York banks.
Jones reported the matter aud an investi.

the matter being instructed to keep quiet

had been no money in the envelopes.
Chief Clerk Howe's theory is tina. the
bunch OF letters through some mistake
fell upon the counter and we're overlooked
when the other letters were pouched !;
that aome thief got into the car, discovered
the letters and opened them, and found
that they contained nothing but checks
and threw them behind the heater. The
pouch in which the letters came from
Albany contained a number OF money
packages, which were not disturbed. Mr..
Howe does not think that sny OF the crew
